... February 2014, the international credit rating agency Moody's, citing business reasons, withdrew Baltic International Bank's standalone bank financial strength rating, despite its reported assets of 266.41 million Euros. 22 In April 2014, Maksim Bakiyev was sentenced to life imprisonment in his absence for ordering the murder of a British businessman. Sean Daley barely survived the assassination attempt near his residence in Bishkek, during his discussions with the parliamentarians and the prime-ministers office about the second largest asset in Kyrgyzstan.23 Daley is pursuing legal action against Bakiyev in London. In October 2014, Bakiyev was living in £3 .5 million house in Surrey (owned by a now liquidated offshore company in ...

... the British, any evidence in their archives of a conspiracy behind the Hess Flight lay like an unexploded bomb. It was as dangerous as the NKVD material on the mass murder of Polish POWs in the Katyn Forest, or the disappearance of Raoul Wallenberg. For the FBI and CIA it would be like records of conspiracies leading up to the assassination of JFK. John Costello, backed by a New York budget, was first into the KGB archives, working with former KGB colonel Oleg Tsarev to deliver in 1991 Ten Days That Saved The West, a book in which Costello supported Russian suspicions that the British had plotted to lure Hitler into attacking Russia. The book sold well in ...

... demanded a full investigation. The FBI actually cleared him of the paper's most serious charges, but by then Walsh had suffered through what Time magazine called 'one of the worst scandals that ever affected a member of the Senate'. He left politics when his term ended in 1946. According to the leading chronicler of this affair, the political assassination campaign against Walsh was led by President Roosevelt; his lover, Dorothy Schiff, owner of the New York Post; the British secret service; the head of its U.S . counterpart, the Office of Strategic Services; and the duplicitous general counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, Morris Ernst.25 Although he didn't target ...

... Blackmail in the Deep State: From the Bay of Pigs and JFK Assassination to Watergate Jonathan Marshall Note: this article is excerpted from an unpublished book titled Watergate, the American Deep State, and the Legacy of Secret Government by Jonathan Marshall. T he Watergate affair of 1972-74, though widely regarded as one of the the gravest political and constitutional crises in U.S . history, began not with a bang but a whimper – or as President Nixon's press secretary dismissed it, a 'third-rate burglary attempt'.1 Despite myriad government probes, lawsuits, news stories, and scholarly analyses, no one knows for sure what motivated the historic break- ...

... Hence while US Americans relish the hymns of praise for their press that come from invidious comparisons with the media in the rest of the world (especially the Soviet Union/Russia), they need the titillation that comes from being told occasionally that elected officials patronise brothels, judges receive bribes and non-whites in foreign lands are tortured and assassinated. Even the most obscene acts perpetrated by CIA officers or their comrades in other branches of the state apparatus become delectable if served by those whose reporting respects the aesthetic dogma. Bernardo Bertolucci directed a film, Last Tango in Paris, with Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider. A number of recent articles about the film focus on the non ...

... , h/b , £18.99 P rofessor Mellen spoke about 'Mac' Wallace, who is one of the two subjects of this book, a couple of years ago in a lecture,1 and it was clear when this book was announced that it was going to try and debunk the LBJ-dunnit thesis in the JFK assassination. In Mellen's view, that thesis has just two planks: the fingerprint of Malcolm 'Mac' Wallace apparently found on the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD hereafter) just after the assassination and the allegations of the late Billie Sol Estes. The fingerprint issue is dealt with by an expert hired by Mellen. Working ...

... this is a lesser-known truth – for over 1,000 of them to be totally vaporized in their destruction shortly afterwards.1 4 The subsequent 'war on terror' has changed the world beyond recognition: Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, pre-emptive military action, waterboarding, extraordinary rendition, enhanced interrogation, the Patriot Act, drone assassinations, the demonization of Muslims and the violent eruption of large parts of the Middle East with consequent refugee problems there and in Europe. Challenge to understanding If what was triggered by 9/11 concerns us, then trying to understand what happened that day must matter, too. How was it, in Kleinberg's words, that the identified ...

Intent T o return to the issue of intent: whether one examines the historical debates in the International Workingmen's Association or even those 9 The exact reasons and actors behind the assassination of Leon Trotsky remain disputed to this day. Strangely enough many prominent neo- conservatives (reactionaries) claim to have been Trotskyists in their youth. This lends even more ambiguity to the circumstances in which Trotsky and (alleged) Trotskyists were persecuted. An interesting but by no means conclusive insight into the Stalin-Trotsky conflict can be ...
